Some Kansas towns are so hard up for
boom that they are advertising in the Kan

more to build up great city than any man

from Col Marsh Murdoch with regard to
town building.-Lawrence Journal.
Pointers are becoming valuable in that
direction, but we have no objection to OBJ
serving that the Kansas town which adj
vertise in Missouri paper which paper is
only read in Kansas is not doing a very
bright thing. An advertisement which is
upon its face simply an advertisement, or
% blow which is understood by everybody
to be purely blow are worth but little if
they are not an actual damage. The editor
who cannot write up his town in way
that it will be swallowed by his average
reader as gospel truth might as well retire
from the booming business. Lies will
prove heavier about the neck of boomer
than grindstones without holes. The
essence of boom must be truth, tho ant
of the thing is knowing how to put that
truth, and when and where.
There Is, however. one fundamental
fact, of which the EAGLE has been an
everlasting open exponent, yet which has
never been caught on to by even the papers
which ave tried the hardest to initiate it
the most closely, but which, if utilized,
would give dozen cities of Kansas a
boom such as they never dreamed Of II
is the touchstone, the talismanic thing
which converts hope or desire into a
faith as solid as the everlasting hills. That
secret, or rather fact, for it is as tangible rs

The Elephant Ahoat.

Tho happy life and untimely death
of the elephant Jumbo have made US
feel little better acquainted with these
beasts. Jumbo had twice escaped the
pcrls of the sea, only TO fall victim
to a ra road engine. A Calcutta paper
thus describes how elephants go 10
sea:
The hosting into the air, and lower
ing elephants into the hold of ship Is
not only AN unusual sight to most men,
but also n strange experience to most
elephants.
They were dashed with strong ropes,
slung as far as practicable in sings,
hoisted up with cranes with threcfold
tackles, and lowered into the steamers
hold like bales of cotton. When in the
hold. they were placed in pens built OF
strong teak timber baulks, bolted TO
the ships side TO prevent them from
breaking loose.
The fear the animals suffered wac
the only pain they underwent; and by
watching the eyes of tho poor beasts
their terror was very manifest Tears
trickled down their faces. and they
roared with dread. more especially
when being lowered into the hold, the
the bottom OF which was sanded for
them to stand upon. We are told that
one timid female elephant actually
tainted. and was brought to with fan
and many gallons of water.
At sea it appeared that the animals
got into a curious habit Of occasionally
evidently at a preconcerted signal
setting to work rocking the ship from
side to side. by giving themselves. sim
ultaneously, a swinging motion as they
stood athwart the ship. the vessel
